My son was just accepted yesterday for the summer of 2018. He is very excited and I was looking for input from others who may have gone before to give him a heads up as to what to expect.

LIU Summer Honors Institute Help
Hi, I applied to the LIU Summer program and got accepted, but the program is rather far. I was wondering if anyone had gone to this program and could share some insight as to whether or not it's worth the trip? Thank you!! ^^

Pre-College/High School Summer Programs with Open Enrollment (i.e., not selective)
I've been researching residential Pre-College/High School Summer Programs with Open Enrollment (i.e., not very selective) within the VA, MD, DE and surrounding states (anything within a 3-4 hour drive). Any recommendations? Opinions on below options?
https://www.stevens.edu/admissions/pre-college-programs (looking at Cybersecurity) (for my son)
Future Agents in Training (FAIT) program (somewhat selective) (for my son)
Hollins University - https://www.hollins.edu/academics/hollinsummer/ (for my daughter)

NIH Summer Internship Program 2018
Hi guys! I am applying for the NIH's SIP this year, and I thought that others applying might come find this thread so we can talk about it.
I'm most worried about having to email PI's. I feel like I'm not going to get responses from anyone. Anyone who has applied, emailed, and heard back, post it here! Good luck to everyone.

AMA: LaunchX (MIT Launch) '17 alum
It's that time of year again... Summer program applications are open!
MIT Launch '17 alum here. If you have any questions on application process / life at Launch / curriculum / company continuing, let me know and I will try my best to answer.
A few things about admission:
- they don't really care about your transcript - as long as you don't have bunch of Cs you should be fine.
- the video matters a lot
- they have alum application readers summarize applications and make recommendations
- having a LaunchX club or being in the LaunchX regional leadership can be a huge boost
- applied previous years (and rejected) can be a boost
- from underrepresented countries can be a boost
*those are just my observations - totally unofficial.
Why apply to Launch:
- the program is highly hands on. You form REAL REAL REAL company with your team and make lifelong friends.
- most companies formed at Launch continues after the conclusion of the program. I've heard of companies from two years ago still running and making enough money to be self-sufficient.
- every single lecture (maybe except the first three days) is designed to support your company growth. the lecturer (sometime guest speakers) are highly knowledgeable in their respective field and usually will stay 10 minutes after lecture to answer individual questions. You learn everything from primary market research (PMR) to professional marketing. You even get legal consulting!
- walking distance to venture cafe - meet the entrepreneurs from all around boston there!
- great working environment. who doesn't love to work in a conference room with view to Charles River.
- Launch reimburse some of your prototyping costs.
- You get a lot of exercise during lunch - walking from seniors house to sloan is no joke (go look it up on google maps)
Do not apply to Launch if you are trying to:
- get a golden ticket to MIT. While Launch team has a good relationship with MIT Admissions, they are definitely not a golden ticket.
- just to fill your time. you simply won't get in if you aren't passionate.
- make money. if you are just here to make money, you probably won't succeed in your company, therefore, losing all your money spent on camp cost.
Again if you have any questions about Launch, just let me know. Good luck on your applications everyone!

USNA Summer STEM
Hi all
Seeing that they have rolling admissions, has anyone heard yet for USNA Summer STEM? I know my son heard last year in April but he applied later. He really enjoyed it last year as a rising freshman and wants to attend again this year. Has anyone done multiple years? Thanks.

Is the BP AFS STEM Academy program good?
Apparently it's a new program starting from March of this year and it's all expenses paid. Deadline is this March 31st; no recs, just writing and stuff. I haven't seen much about it but the application asks for your passport and visa info which is a bit alarming.
Here's the link: https://www.afsusa.org/study-abroad/scholarships/bp/stem-academy
Anyone here participated in an AFS program or the BP AFS Global Citizens of Tomorrow program (which is similar)? Was it legit and was it a great experience?

Carnegie Mellon Summer Programs for Diversity
Has anybody ever been to one of these? I'd like to know how it is, how hard it is to make, the coursework, recreation, etc, etc.
I'm seriously considering the design one, especially since (all of them) are free. I'd love to spend a summer doing design stuff, and my parents can't/won't pay thousands to spend on some random college program.
Yet it seems too good to be true - is there some catch that I simply haven't seen?

Carleton Summer Academic Programs 2018
There needs to be an annual thread for this lol. Has anyone applied for the 3-week program and/or received decisions? According to their website decision letters are going out about one month after the first deadline, 2/13, and now is about time. I applied for the summer science institute and I'm still waiting for decisions :/
